NetSurf 3.4 released 17 Feb 2016
NetSurf 3.4 features many optimisations to improve performance over previous releases. It also contains many bug fixes, including improvements to page layout. This is also the first release to contain the Duktape JavaScript engine. While our JavaScript bindings have seen a lot of development for this release, JavaScript remains disabled by default as the support is incomplete. We recommend all users upgrade to NetSurf 3.4.

Hi
Just a quick update, (No binaries), HTTP fetcher is fixed, I'm working on a file fetcher at the moment.
There are some problems with using C sometimes (unknown issues / crashes), but I'm trying to report them as things progress.
Just for the heads up, I had plans to try to use SDL for this using libSDL, but now we will be using f65 for drawing the browser window.
PS - All the libraries and netsurf binary are integrated with Netsurf build system (I've patched it, and it should be ready to go to Netsurf main trunk after the browser acctually works).
Next step, I'm gonna try to implement resource handling and connect Netsurf to file IO on kolibri so it can grab resource files directly from disk (like default.css , etc).
Regards,
ashmew2

Netsurf-For-Kolibri v0.2
=================
I've made some progress with Netsurf Official on KolibriOS.
The red component is missing from the surface, so the colour looks a bit too YELLOW.
I'll fix the colour issue later.
Attached netsurf.zip.
Unzip it to some location.
Mount this directory properly so that nskolibrios is at : /usbhd0/1/nskolibrios
You need it exactly at this path, or it will not work.
I think Netsurf is pretty stable on KolibriOS now. I don"t see any crashes in regular run now.
Writing this from KolibriOS, so if I am able to post this message to the board, it means cookies work and so does HTTP Post. HTTP Get works as well. Let"s see...

Hi!
Presenting Netsurf with image support!
The attachment release.png is no longer available
Things are starting to look more reliable and stable. There might be a few crashes, but I need all of your help to fix those crashes!
List of issues :
---------------------
====
ISSUES
====
Slow Page loading times.
===FIXED=== Handle Headers , especially cookies to handle maintaining sessions. Right now it'll just keep kicking you out if you try to log onto a site.
===FIXED=== Colours are messed up right now, somehow the RED component is missing. Probably something wrong in the pixel layout in memory.
CSS Does not always load pretty graphics for the same website (For example board.kolibrios.org).
===FIXED=== Properly handle all return codes. We just abort fetch if http code is not 200 or 3xx.
===FIXED=== Crash with imgur.com
Handle netsurf command line handling arguments ===FIXED=== Remove hard coded paths about /usbhd0/1/ so that the binary can run from anywhere.
We just need to place res/ in the same directory as netsurf executable now.
No HTTPS (Half of the world uses it....Damn PolarSSL..)
Handle TAB key to cycle through fields.
Polish and Finish kolibri surface for libnsfb. ===FIXED=== No image support yet. ! We have PNG!
JPEG Support.
GIF Support.
No Javascript. ===FIXED=== Entry boxes do not load. ===FIXED=== board.kolibrios.org crashes after some time.
Might crash randomly because of some malloc/free issues after an HTTP POST. ===FIXED=== No POST yet. Only GET.
No FileSystem caching yet. Need to enable FS Backing Store.
Caching is disabled , especially If-modified-since and if-none-match headers.
The caching can be enabled later when everything else is Working 100%.
==FIXED== free() crashes for favicon string in url_unescape() function. It is disabled for now, but we need it sooner or later.
There are too many debug statements around the code (including libs), remove them.
Downloads probably won't work right now [ Untested, but best guessed ]
==FIXED== Port libiconv
Upload libiconv port to SVN. Make size smaller. Strip useless crap from the big source code before it.
===FIXED=== Fix crash related to loading wiki.osdev.org (and other websites with PNGs)
Merge to CI of Netsurf. ===FIXED=== Add support for multipart/form-data POST requests.
Add custom pages for 404 or 5xx errors like what "regular browsers" show. Designers! *Looks at Leency*
Help me test this binary! Report any crashes.
Thanks everyone.
